Pete,

You don't think that Mitch Booth and Charlie Ogletree and Glen Ashby aren't the top of the beachcat world? If they aren't then who is?

Certainly Loick Peyron isn't a slouch on beachcats or megacats.

The fact of the matter is that the guys at the top are there because they are excellent SAILORS. You could put Spithill or Barker on an laser or an opti and they'd still be at the top of the fleet.
